The UpFlip Podcast

Starting your own business is an exciting achievement, but for most entrepreneurs, that’s just the first step. Knowing how to grow your business to reach your revenue goals is another challenge, and that’s where Evolve to Grow’s expertise can be a game changer.

Tristan Wright started Evolve to Grow in 2017 with the goal of giving business owners more time and freedom, along with insights on how to grow a business to its full potential. Tristan didn’t set out to be a business coach. He started on the other side, launching a cycling wear business after quitting his career as an engineer. His early struggles with that business inspired him to start Evolve to Grow to teach other entrepreneurs how to grow a small business the right way.

Whether you’re a current business owner or an entrepreneur who wants to start your first venture, Tristan’s insights can help you make the leap to 7 figures with sustainable, long-term growth strategies.

In three years, Yamundow Camara has built a rental property portfolio that generates $80,000 a month in revenue – and it all started from an investment of just $8,000.

Yamu didn’t plan to start a property business when she moved to the United States. Growing up orphaned in a small village in Gambia, Yamu’s dream was to have a house of her own. She came to the US to study data science. It was after graduation that she saw the opportunity to build wealth through real estate, investing all the savings she had to purchase her first property.

Today, Yamu has properties in multiple states, with a mix of section 8 rentals and direct bookings. She shares her property management strategy for these long-distance investments and how she finds and chooses the properties she adds to her portfolio. We’ll also hear how she bought that first property with limited financial resources and how she uses her cash flow to keep growing the business.

Yamu’s story is proof that you don’t need to be wealthy to invest in real estate. Her insights in this interview can help you follow her model to start growing a property business however much you have (or don’t have) in your savings account.
